IMHO everyone should have a relatively small group of folks to Bunker with. A man solo is much easier to overtake or trap. A group of like minded folks is added security as well as sanity. It is mentally tough to be completely alone for very long.

If a SHTF scenario were to happen, how would you handle the following:

1. Who gets into your Bunker? Who doesn't? Obviously, you let those that bring something to the table in and keep those that don't out? What is your criteria for making the grade?
2. How would you form a cohesive group?
3. How would you establish and maintain the pecking order? Everyone wants to be a chief.
4. Have you ever been a part of a Bunker/Survival group? Share your experience.

1. Bunker, life boat, or whatever it's all the same and should always start with women and kids first. After that, help as many as possible.

2. That takes time and no one can predict how a group will work together. That's when leadership skills really come in handy.

3. Ultimately the indians decide who is chief anyway so it's not worth worrying about. Again that's where leadership skills come in.

Actually there is a medical condition that either exists, or is created by nurture if you believe in that (I do), that is you prefer to be alone. It's completely opposite of monophobic, but I forget the name.

I had a doctor that thought I had it, but I can't remember the name of it.

I actually have zero problems being alone without external interaction with other people. Weird, I have been told many times by females I dated, but I think I "learned" it growing up in my house.

As a side note, I HATE crowds and dislike large social gatherings, but I have been told here on this forum that is perfectly normal.
